WoW thanks alot. I got everything when i Add my note 3 to my account.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mr pnut:
Yup I got $25 from playstore
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NYCguy2020:
Done! Thanks a lot..I could only get the play store credit and nothing else though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mr pnut:
It's the playstore or Samsung hub can't get both
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
They ran out of Samsung hub codes. You were able to get both Hub and PS codes before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
$25 dollars free? count me in! Thanks Op :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] e29:
Tried $25 play store and didn't work for me, invalid code

It works just fine, I typed in the wrong code, thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CaptainMorgan:
Awesome, worked great. In fact not only did it work for my N3 but also my wife's N2!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jonathan3579:
How fast did they send the email? It's only been a few minutes but the fact that their site now says "Registration is temporarily unavailable. Apologies for the inconvenience, please check back later." is concerning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JTIII:
Looks like Samsung shut this down...DANG! I'm kinda disappointed...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
DAMNIT! Missed out on this one. Hoping it comes back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jonathan3579:
Yeah, that was my thoughts exactly. I didn't even get my credit, lol. The other thread was closed down evidently because fraud was being promoted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] clever comrade:
They're onto us.

Registration is down, probably patching it so their other devices no longer work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toyanucci:
Sigh!!!

Anyone who got it willing to give me the boingo reward? That's really what I would want.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
Hope you guys redeemed your codes yesterday, because the play store codes have been deactivated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hgaara:
This sucks, I was gonna try 3 more devices for a total of $125 codes. Thankfully I managed to get 2 codes in and now have $50. Anyways, do all codes work or just whatever you redeem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] soulja4187:
I did it last night and got $25 from the playstore. Thanks OP!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nba1341:
missed it damn
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sorphin:
Got my play store credit. The samsung hub code says 'invalid code'.. Good thing we got our play store credit at least.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] harpocrates:
mine says invalid serial mac combination. 2 of the tabs are service unavialble so my guess is registering the note 3 there was a glitch they are fixing. :(

No codes for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Han Solo 1:
Good thing I went through three different Note 10.1's before I stopped exchanging. I still have over $60 in Play Store credits.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
When I did it the other night, I got the email with all but the Samsung Hub codes. I used the Play store credit but won't use HuluPlus (had it once, not interested in paying for commercials). Giving audible and SiriusXM a look. Not going to use the rest of them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tofi1:
Oh darn, I'm about to get my GN3 this week. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] theusername:
If you still register your Note on the Samsung site they will send you a 50% off code. It's good for up to 5 accessories costing less then $59.99. It's not quite as good as the Google credit, but at least it something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] useltonm:
That's still a good deal for extra batteries or wireless charging back plate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wamu93:
what serial number are you guys using? I tried the one behind the battery and I am getting an invalid combination, same for wifi mac address, looks like site is back up and running, wasn't working for me yesterday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] les_garten:
I just tried this as well.

It worked last week on a note 2,but the didn't ask for a wifi mac.

Looks like they figured out a way to add an additional layer of confirmation.

Most likely a different chipset possibly for the WiFi chips and they're using that to confirm whether you have a BIG Note or not.

I'll have to try again with a 2011 when I get one, it would be interesting to see if we could get a Note 10.1 mac if it would work for everybody...

They might only be checking the first 6 digits.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elracing21:
You'd need the serial number too and if you use something that's been used it will let you know that it's been registered already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] les_garten:
Right, but what I was saying is that I reg'd a N2 last week for my mother and it didn't ask me for the wifi mac, only SN.

Then they shut the site down. I suspect because of stuff WE were doing

They probably can't tell what Note you have by the SN, but the manufacturer of the wifi chips is probably different. They can tell that by the first 6 digits.

So they added the wifi check to make sure you had the proper note, if you get my drift. Otherwise they would just use SN.

My N3 had not been reg'd and I got invalid combination tonight. But I am waiting for a Black Friday 10.1 sale.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jim256:
I agree. It seems to be back up now but I am getting the same thing:

"Invalid Serial# - Wi-Fi Mac Address combination"

I tried it multiple times and made sure that I entered everything right. My serial number in About Device and behind the battery match.

Maybe they figured out that non Galaxy Note 10.1 users were signing up and they didn't want that, and therefore took it down for a day to make us Note 3 users unable to enter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Which I think is kinda weird. Our Note 3s cost more than the Note 10.1 anyway. Samsung should be happily giving us rewards considering how much we are paying. You'd think they would want to give the rewards to the consumers who are spending more money.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Gotta love the entitlement freaks.

sent from my sm-9005.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] les_garten:
At first you would think that. I get your supposition.

But the N3 market is a captive guaranteed market for them.

People upgrade their smartphones every year or so and many are subsidized which means a guaranteed market.

The tablet market is stand alone, so that's why incentives are offered.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ltc558:
It seems doesn't work anyway,i just tried mine and my friend's Galaxy Tab 10.1(2014E),but i still got "invalid combination"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] decalex:
yarr. No go on my TMo note 3. Invalid serial combination as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] h3ck:
I'm pretty sure they had a maintenance from 6pm to 10pm EST when I checked earlier. Probably patched issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zildjian89:
I tried this last week. I tried all my Samsung devices with new Samsung account and new gmail account on each.

I used two Galaxy S2s

Nexus 10

Sidekick

And a cheap Samsung phone and all worked.

I got $125 in my play store account.

It's instant, go to your gmail, look on the left side and click the more tab, than click all mail. You should see your email and reward :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
Omg why the he'll didn't I realize that haha. I did get it! It's in my promotions tab. I even called samsung about this. Thanks dude. It's Gmail fault for making this extra tab that i don't get notifications from.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:

Actually, you have control over that. You can remove that option in your account settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
Ya I know. I actually like it as it organizes my mail but I don't get notification via status bar if I get anything in there. I just have to remember to check it like in this case.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dimatchka:
I'm having GPS issues with my i777. It doesn't want to lock to any satellites it seems. I tried all the GPS fixing apps and non of them seem to do the trick. When I'am on AOSP ROMS I can forget about locking to a satellite, however when I use touch wiz based ROMS like sho stock or the stock ROM I still have an issue but after I use the 3rd party apps I get a weak lock. Does any one know what is wrong with my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chaz9999:
I got that depending on the ROM, Android base, Kernel, etc. etc.

And to throw in anecdotal evidence: I've had really good GPS locking performance with Shostock's3 v.4 and CM 10.1 stable (stock kernels). Unfortunately that means you'll revert to either 4.1.2/4.2.2 but overall it's been a better daily driver for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BInspirinG:
Yeah, same results here. It's about what you're willing to give up really- newer versions of roms or better GPS. I choose to stick with newer versions of roms and just manually pin-point where I am. I'm getting better and better at it. It's not ideal since I have to interact with it so much, but it works well enough for me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
That's not normal. I've had my G2 for over a month and have never had this issue. Try factory resetting the phone and see if the problem stops. Also try another launcher as well
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Thanks for the reply.

I've considered going back to Nova Prime - my launcher of choice for years now. But, I like the stock launcher features, so I wanted to stay with it longer. I may do a factory reset.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Factory reset worked. Thanks for the suggestion.

The launcher is now working perfectly - smooth, fast, consistent. I must of had some app conflicts, or maybe some of the apps I disabled surfaced problematic behavior.

**Edit**

The issue was not resolved.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
I've done some learning on this issue. Please weigh-in if you have additional experience.

Turns out, erratic touchscreen behavior is a common G2 issue that may be present in many G2's, even if you have not witnessed it yet. It appears to be totally dependent on your usage pattern. Some users report that their G2 is "fine", but they may not really push their G2 to exhibit the issue.

The problem:

The touchscreen gets over-sensitive, logging erratic phantom touchpoints. The issue is discussed in many threads on the 'net. The issue can be seen in the launcher, as I described in the link above, or in other apps. When present, you can really see this behavior if you go to Quick Memo and try to draw straight lines, you'll get something that looks more like a a cardiac EKG - random points registered to either side of your lines.

Possible cause:

It's likely to be software-related, as it occurs and then totally resolves itself. According to what I've observed and what I've seen online, if you use your G2 intensely for an extended period this issue can surface. I happened to do a total Factory Reset last night, which "fixed" the problem, but it probably would have corrected itself 100% once I left it alone for a while. If the touchscreen was "bad", it would tend to exhibit this issue more consistently - I would think.

It's not the screen protector or my case, as my G2 was working 100% perfectly last night after reset. I see only the tiniest bit of weirdness this AM as I was setting my phone back up (again, heavy duty usage).

There are posts in many threads where G2 users return their G2's only to find that it "comes back". A number of users have returned their G2's four or more times - every time the new G2 has the same issue. This is either wildly remote coincidence, or it's an advanced user pushing the G2 in a specific manner, causing it to behave erratically.

My wife has a G2 bought on the same day. She does not use her phone much, nor does she have any new apps installed on it. Works "perfectly". Not sure how it would behave if it had all of my apps on it and I was putting it through the paces.

If you have some helpful info on this topic, it would be great to hear it. For now, I am 5 days into a 14-day trial period. Even though most evidence seems to point to the issue not be resolved with a replacement G2, I still might try that route if I have to.

I LOVE this phone. For me it's the perfect follow-up to my beloved Gnex. It would be great to resolve this issue!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yutlin:
I've experienced this issue as well. There is a great video demonstrating the problem here.

As mentioned in the linked video, the problem does seem to be fixed by turning the screen off and then on again (which would indicate to me that it is a software issue).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Thanks for touching base.

Yup - I am well-aware of that video and it's exactly what I've experienced.

I wonder, how many G2 users who have observed this issue have just kept their G2's figuring that an upcoming release will address the issue? I am on the fence about returning mine, as I am not convinced that it's a hardware issue either.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnarfsan:
I have not experienced it at all. But I will watch out for it now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FILLY86:
Did you try a rom (cyanogen for example)? If yes, is this issue still present there?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yutlin:
Made a video of this happening on my LG G2 (Sprint LS980). It is definitely intermittent but doesn't seem to have anything to do with using the phone a lot as when it happened to me today I had barely touched the phone in hours.

http://youtu.be/N8jyCjw8sIQ
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylineGTR_34:
It happens only and not frequently(especially when I played one after another) when i play the Samurai Siege or Death Trigger games. I also think-hope that this is a firmware problem. Mine is t-mobile variant.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Although a bit of a PIA, I pulled the trigger and a replacement G2 is on it's way.

Figured this is the best thing to do since I am still in the 14-day period.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yutlin:
The thing that makes this issue extra difficult is that it is sporadic and the way it manifests itself can be subtle. The fact that the phone starts registering phantom touches can show up as a crazy keyboard, scrolling issues, random selections, etc. Sometimes, if you didn't know better, you'd just assume you lifted your finger accidentally. Additionally, often times when this happens I'll try to pull down the notification bar but instead the device will register a double-tap on the notification bar and turn the screen off. Turning the screen off remedies the issue so once you turn it back on things seem normal. It is my guess that this issue is much more prevalent than it seems because a lot of users are probably chalking it up to some little goof on their part.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
I noticed random issues like this the day after having my phone. On the FB app it was scrolling super fast and jerky. Then I tried to write a text using Swype and my words are all broken up. It only happened a few times. But it's noticeable when it acts up.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Great post. This further explains EXACTLY what I've experienced.

I also agree on the potentially prevalent nature of this issue. I wouldn't be surprised if this G2 touchscreen issue was inherent on many G2's. It seems that the owners that complain are ones that actually spend time entering text (more than a one-sentence sms message) and/or configuring their device (swyping/picking/scrolling). For me, I can get my G2 to exhibit this issue when I enter a couple of paragraphs in any app. Eventually, I'll start getting strings of random garbage words in place of a single word entry. If I immediately flip over to the Quick Memo app (with transparent background) and try to draw a straight line - I can't - my straight line gesture becomes an "EKG line" on the screen (as seen in various YouTube videos). I've also gotten every random issue that the poster above stated, including the annoying notification shade issue - you slide your finger down to open the shade and it turns off the display (or starts up one of the apps in the shade).

If your device doesn't exhibit this issue, it may mean that:

- You just never really use your device that intensively, or you don't look that closely, or you are quick to say "wow - that was weird" when you enter text via the keyboard and get a garbled result.

- You may actually have a device that is not affected. I honestly hope that this option actually exists in the wild as I have my second G2 on it's way

Lastly I'll add that my wife's G2 does not exhibit this issue when I enter a few paras of text, but that could just be chance. She uses her G2 for calls and the occasional text - again, possibly supporting the notion that more casual users just don't get exposed to this issue, OR, that there are plenty of G2's that don't have this issue. For sure, given the frequency of postings on many forums,there are plenty that do.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidNoob22:
idk if I've really understood every post in this thread but from what I've understood is while using phone for a long time and heavy tasking the touch goes crazy and starts doing stuff on it's own, so I have my G2 since 2 days have been badly using it 45 mins of asphalt 8 non stop then web browsing for 5 mins and 30 mins of ebook reading (45+5+30=70 mins) I have my phone on since 70 mins no stop dint turn it off even for a second I tried every possible thing stated in this thread specially the quick memo which I also saw on YouTube and I don't have those issues I did had those kind ofa issues in my xperia sp few months ago but a custom ROM and also a offical firmware update had fixed it so I am pretty sure it's software related, don't mind me if I said something wrong as I dint go through the thread thoroughly. :p

Edit : My device is Indian D802
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Sounds like you have a "perfect" G2. I honestly hope that a good percentage of G2's are in that category. It's a totally awesome phone!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
I can't replicate this issue either with Quickmemo or anything. I've seen mentions about it before but just haven't noticed it myself. I'm sure I would notice it straight away if my device behaved like that because I am super sensitive to stuff like that.

I'm on the international one.

I would consider myself a moderate user, I play games but not too many graphic intensive games and for periods of 30min to 1 hour at a time. I also usually stop when my phone gets to 40*C. I have yet to see this issue occurring on my phone. I haven't had any funky scrolling or texting yet. I have an LG-D801 bought through Wind Mobile (I think it's identical to T-mobile variant).

No, I just gave Facebook as an example. I can actually set the phone down and watch random button presses, no matter what is running. I just launched camera and waited. Within 1 - 10 seconds I get a phantom press of the home button.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Wow! There was another poster in this thread that also reported a totally haywire G2 that makes on-screen selections all by itself. That's definitely a different issue than the one posted in the OP of this thread. We are looking at a software defect that can registers actions performed by the user in an inaccurate way - a small scrolling gesture turns into a large one, or a tap in one area registers just to the side of where the user touched, or the entire display can jiggle really fast horizontally when the user holds their finger down. In every case, the user is initiating the action. Your issue reportedly occurs all by itself - which makes it a different issue altogether.

I wanted to clarify the difference, as we are trying to determine if the specific issue covered in this thread has been fixed for VZW G2 owners.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazysoccerman:
